I'm interested in slowly growing my nation. I had thought to just be passive and avoid conflict; however, apparently, this game favors bloodshed. I've been repeatedly attacked by 1 nation and then when I defended myself to the point that nation was losing, I get a threat to accept a peace treaty or they would sick their alliance on me. At this point I'm thinking to either delete my account and forget about this game or find some alliance that would allow someone to join that's not really interested in the whole roleplaying thing.
What I'm asking for:
protection
to be left alone
I don't want tech, a starter package or anything else.
What I'll give:
levy, money, etc whatever; as long as it's within the means of my small nation to give.
I want to see the natual growth of a nation not a "here's 2 million dump it all in infrastructure" kind of growth.
Suggestions?
